Now, that's just a for instance as well, it obviously doesn't work that simply, but your fooling yourself if you think statement is even close to the truth.

If you have a middle class that's beaten down, unhealthy, uneducated, overworked, poor, unhappy, how good do you think the economy will be?

Don't think we aren't seeing a bit of that right now. And don't think it won't get worse if the tax situation isn't made more fair.
Well given what the unemployment rate is right now I'm sure there are quite a few healthy and educated without a job.

I do agree with you that there is more to it then letting business keep there money to work with. If there wasn't as you say every country would have that strategy and be successful. But I honestly can't see how you create non-govenment jobs without businesses making and being able to keep a lot of their money.
